MONEY MARKET AND CODINERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. A good inquiry for money is still experienced in the general discount market, but the rate required for first-class paper is not more than equal to the Bank of England minimum. Tne demand appears to be stimulated by provincial capitalists, who, through the activity of trado at all the principal seats of industry, are in need of accommodation for continuing commercial operations which have lat terly much increased. Tho alterations shown in the Bank of England return for the past week have not taken tha public by surprise, as they were foreseen by the sudden and repeated movements in the minimum rate for dis count. The bullion has been reduce], and a large falling off has also taken place in the reserve of notes. The other securities have been very con siderably increased.

The directors of the Cape (Eastern Province) Railway Company have recommended the return to the scripholders of ls. per share, leaving a balance in hand, eufficiefit to protect the company's interest; whenever an opportunity occurs to tender for the construction of the line, new surveys having been authorised by the Government. During the last few days the dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been very much restricted, consequent upon the advance in the value of money. At the public sales of tea rather lower prices have been established, while sugar, coffee, cocoa, and rice have each been in very limited request at barely previous rates. In tallow, however, there has been rather more business at slightly enhanced prices for both present and for ward delivery. The public sales of colonial wool have commenced with a full attendance of both home and foreign dealere, and prices generally are equal to those current at the close of the previous auctions. The shares of the Bonelli Telegraph Company were in demand to-day at 11, and closed at 2 prem. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 45c. Plat. The market fur the X oglish Funds continues much depressed, consequent upon sales, and the un favourable feeling respecting politics, At one time this morning a decline of fully *per cent. occurred, but part of this loss has been recovered, and Consols are now 90a 4 for money, and 891 (less the half years interest) for the account, The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 e ; Annuities, 1885, 14 7-16 ; Exchequer Bills, for March, 15s, Bs. die., and 9s. 4s. dis. ; India 6 per Cents., 104 i and Bonds, 15s. dis.

On the evening of April 23, Superintendent Loxton reported to the Commis a sinner of Police—" I beg to report that the meeting and planting of the tree on Primrose-hill this day has passed off all quietly ; there were about 100,000 persons on the hill, Several attempts were made to address the people respecting the sudden depar ture of Garibaldi; the speakers were spoken to by the police; then they left the hill, inviting the people to come to the Agricultural Hall next week. the A Reserve were dismissed at 7 p.m,, and the remainder at 8 p.m." On April 25 the same super intendent made this further report—" With refer ence to the police interfering and preventing a Garibaldi meeting on Primrose-hill, on Satur day last, I beg to report that, after the Shakespere oak had been planted, about half-past 5 p.m., I heard several persons say that a Garibaldi meeting was being held on the top of the hill. At this time there was not less than 50,000 on and about all parts of the hill; and, fearing there might be a disturbance, I went with about 40 constables to the top of the hill, A man stood upon one of the park seats and addressed a few words to the people. A chairman was chosen (a Mr Beales, barrister), when Inspector Stokes spoke to the parties; they adjourned the meeting; on this some remarks were made against the police and her Majesty's Ministers. There was no complaint made to me by any person of being assaulted by the police. One man stated to Inspector Fidge that a policeman had struck him in the face with his fist; he had got his number, and would summon him for the assault." On the same 25th of April Inspector Stokes also reported as follows:—" I beg to report that I was on duty at Primrose-hill on the 23d inst., during the ceremony of planting the oak in commemoration of the Shak spere Tercentenary. At 545 p.m. (after the cere mony) a large number of persons assembled on the top of the hill, and several men, calling themselves the Working Men's Committee,' were in the centre, one of whom was standing on a seat addressing the people, to the effect that' Garibaldi was sent home by the English Government to please the French Emperor.' I, accompanied by a sergeant and two constables, went to him. I said I wished to speak to him. He got off the seat, and I told him he could not bo allowed to address any meeting there; when he consulted with another man, who afterwards told me his name was Cremer, and that he resided at 31, Great Titchfield-street, who informed the people that the police would not allow them to hold the meeting, and he therefore adjourned it to a future time and place. The com mittee above referred to, headed by Mr. Cremer, then walked partly round the foot of the hill, fol lowed by a large number of persons. I heard Cremer say, 'Let us walk about and give the bobbies a run ; they cannot prevent us walking about.' I then called off a few constables who were following, and the committee shortly after left the park." MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The su;ply of English wheat on sale at Mark•lane to day was but moderate. Both for red and white qualities, however, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday. In foreign wheat only a moderate business was transacted. Prices, however, ruled stationary. The show of samples on the stands was by no means extensive. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. With barley the market was fairly supplied. Generally speaking the trade was dull, at about Monday's currency. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at late rates. Oats, with which the market was fairly supplied, moved off slowly, at the prices current on Monday. Beans and peas were in slow request, on former terms, In sour sales progressed slowly, at previous quotations. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt, Oats.

THE BIIRLINGTON:—Mr. Blanchard, the enter. prising proprietor of this new and magnificent building, celebrated the completion and opening of the esta blishment on Wednesday evening by inviting his friends to an inspection of the premises and also an inaugural dinner. The company having viewed the various apartments, all of which are fitted up in the most comfortable style, seated themselves in the dining-room--a N ery noble apartment— under the presidency of Captain Jay, when a repast was served that would be quite sufficient of itself to consolidate the fame of any establishment. The peculiar features of the Burlington are that it extends the City system of dining to the West-end, which, until the present time, has been unlinowa ; also, that it presents a place where a father may take a daughter to dine, when any distance from home, with the certainty of finding comfort and at tention, with a complete absence of that peculiar portion of the community that is so prone to appropriate to themselves and their casual acquaintances establishments like the Butlington. Mr. Blanchard, however, has set about his work with a deterinination and an energy worthy the highest commendation, and seems perfectly satisfied that the object he has in view will be thdroughly appreciated by the public. That the success of the new establishment will be complete is certain, because everything requisite for such a result has been consulted—viz., a first rate position, elegance, comfort, and great attention; but above all, and beyond all, a moderate tariff of charges, so that none need fear entering the Burlington on account of the great expen diture that will be incurred.

ROME, MAY 1. • The portion of the Pope's Allocution at the recent Consistory relating to Poland is alleged to be as follows : "The blood of the weak and innocent cries aloud before the throne of the Almighty for vengeance upon those by whom it is shed. And do we not see in our time innocent blood shed in a Catholic country, in unfortunate Poland, where the same Catholic faith for which the holy Fidelis gave His life is so cruelly persecuted ? I did not intend to speak upon this subjest before the next Consistory, but I fear that if I keep silence longer I shall draw down upon myself the punishment of Heaven with which the prophets threaten those who permit in justice. Vac mai, guia tacui. My conscience coma pets me to raise my voice against the powerful Sovereign whose dominions extend to the Pole. fherafore listen! " This mighty Monarch, who also ventures to style hie - ..self Catholic, although he stands outside the pale of our holy Church, forgets that the justice of God will overtake him for his evil d ee d s. T h i s Monarch pursues th e Polish nation with savage cruelty. He has undertaken the impious work of exterminating the Catholic religion in Poland, and of introducing heresy into that country by force. The priests of this Catholic nation are violently torn from their flocks ; some are banished, others condemned to forced labour or dishonourable punishments. Happy are they who contrive to escape, and at present wander about in foreign lands without an asylum. The churches are dese crated and partially clised through the absence of the priests. Finally, this presumptuous ruler has assumed a power which the Vicegerent of Christ does not even possess. After he has torn our much beloved son, the Archbishop of Warsaw, from his diocese, banished him, and kept him in confinement, he has dared to remove him from the office we had entrusted to him. If we express our indignation against such acts it is not with the view to encourage European re volution. We are well able to draw a distinction between a social revolution and the legitimate rights of a nation fighting for its independence and the welfare of religion, If we step forward against the persecutors of the Catholic religion, we fulfil a sacred duty of our conscience. And I have, there fore, communicated to you the mournful news I have received from that unhappy country, for which we will redouble our prayers. We declare that we confer our Apostolic blessing upon all those who this day pray for Poland. Let us all pray for that country." The New Bishop of reteitiOrough, Yesterday the Very Rev, Francis Jeune, D.C.L., Dean of Lincoln, accepted the Bishopric of Peter borough, which h a d b een offered to hi m b y Lord Palmerston on Tuesday. The Very Rev. Dr. Jeans is a Jersey man, and is about foundati ons at P embroke, h e t oo k a fi rst class in classics i n 1827 , and of course was e l ected the Jersey 6 s o ey years of a ge, Having entered on one of fellow of his college, then a college of small repute. For four yeas (1830-4) he earned a high reputation as a college tutor, and was examiner in 1834, In that year he was app o i n t e d h ea d mas t er o f Ki ng Edward's Scaool, Bir m i ng h am, an d too k hi s D .

The master of Pembroke is ex officio canon of Glou cester, and the rev, canon and master presented himself to the living of Taynton, worth about £450 a year. Dr. Jeune owes probably his rapid elevation to a deanery and a bishopric to his connection with Oxford University Reform. He was a leading L pioneer of Lib era l op i n i ons a t a t i me w s ih t b r ee e nr ai to else th an a T ory was v i r t ua ll y c Naturally, in 185 0, h e was appo i nte d one of the commissioners to i nqu i re i n t o th e s t a t e of the University of Oxford.

As head of his college Dr. Jeune earned a higher reputation than he earned as an academical politi cian. He found Pembro k e College unpopular; he names on its b oo k s .

In 1859 he was appointed Vice-Chan oe ll or o f Oxford, and for the next three years he fulfilled the arduous duties of that office with zeal and energy. He was a very a ble man of b us i ness, and on secular matters he was one of the m os t trust worthy authorities in the university. As a most active member of all sorts of committees, as a uni versity official who did all be could to reconcile the university and the city, Dr. Jeune d eserves t h e highest praise; and his graceful and di gn ifi e d treatment of the Prince of Wales, when an under graduate of Christ Church, has obtained a proper recognition from that illustrious personage. To wards the close of last year Dr. Jeune was appointed dean of Lincoln, - in t he room of th e l amente d Thomas Gamier. He voted against the increase of Professor Jow e tt' s sa lary (X4O) to th e ex t reme astonishment of his liberal pupils of more advanced opinions, and he preached a sermon from the uni versity pulpit in w hi c h be administered a severe and well-deserved castigation to his former friends. He earned the highest praise for this sermon from "Evangelical" newspapers, and incurred a vast amount of unpopularity among the Liberals of Ox ford. The clergy of the diocese of Peterborough are likely to find in him a thoroughly able ad ministrator of the affairs of the diocese, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Days BAIL COURT. JEWELL V. ASHCROFT. Mr. M. Smith showed cause against a rule which had been obtained by Mr. Hawkins, calling upon Messrs. Walker and Crompton to show cause why they should not be called upon to answer a certain statement contained in affidavit, charging their clerk with having served a certain paper which purported to be a copy of a summons taken out in a certain cause, when, in fact, such summons had not been taken out in the ordinary way, or the fees paid. The Court thought there was no intention to defraud . although there had been great irregularity; and therefore they (the learned counsel's clients) must pay the costs of the present proceedings, and also a fine of £lO to her Ma jesty the Queen. Mr. Smith at once assented to such a proposition. Judgment accordingly. EXCHEQUER COURT: WILLIAMS V. JONES. Mr. G iffard shewed cause against the rule which had been obtained in the case by Mr. Gray, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict given in his favour in the present cause being tried at the Brecon assizes should not be set aside or entered for the defendant. The action was brought to recover the value of a certain shed or building which had been burnt down, it was alleged, through the carelessness of the defendant's servant. The defen dant's man, it appeared, went to the plaintiff to ask the use of a certain shed for a temporary purpose, and the plaintiff at once accorded it. One night the erection was burned down, the fire having, it was stated, been occasioned by the defendant's man, he, defendant, being liable for the damage. The defendant said the man had finished the work for which he was engaged before ha left the premises on the night of the fire, and therefore he was no longer in their employ, and they were not liable for the rebuilding of the shed. The learned counsel went at great length into a variety of cases to illustrate his argument, at the conclusion of which The Court deferred its judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. EZTENSITE PLATE ROBBERY BY THE BUTLER TO VISCOUNT TEMPL ETO UN. —John Archer, an elderly man, butler and valet to Viscount Templetoun, of 27, George street, Hanover -square, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of plate, of the value of £BO, the pro perty of George Frederick Upton Viscount Templetoun. Mr. It. W. Lucas, solicitor, of 20, Great Marlborough etseet, prosecuted. Mr. Lucas, in opening the case, stated that he appeared on the part cf Viscount Templetoun to prosecute the pri soner, who had been some years in his service as valet and butler, for stealing a quantity of plate. Mr. Lucas then called John Footit, footman to Viscount Templetoun,who said—. I know the prisoner John Archer. He was valet and butler and had charge of the plate. I saw it in his possession 12 months' ago, but he has had charge of it for the last five years. I went with Inspector Draper yesterday to Mr. Harrison's, pawnbroker, 95, Wardour-street, and there saw some plate produced, and I identified it as some of Viscount Templetoun's plate (a large quantity was here produced). I then went with the inspector to another pawnbroker's, Tomlinson and Richards, No. 11 and 12, Upper George street, Portman-square, and identified some plate. I then went to Mr. Starling's, 68, Great Portland-street, another pawnbroker, and there saw two silver spoons bearing the initials of Viscount Templetoun. Mr. Knox—Have you recovered all the missing property ? Mr. Wood—We have. Thos. Day, in the employ of Mr. Harrison, pawnbroker, of Wardour-street, produced four duplicates renewed by the prisoner on the Ist of last July, and also the property they related to ; James Vincent, assistant to Mr. Tomlinson, pownbroker, of Upper George-street, produced some dupli cates showing that the prisoner had pledged several articles and renewed the duplicates ; and an assistant to Mr. Starling proved some pledging, by the prisoner. Mr. Wood—The total amount the articles were pledged for was £62 14s. Inspector Goo. Draper—l was called to 27, George-street, Hanover-square, and told the prisoner he was charged with stealing a quantity of plate, and Ithat I must take him to the station. I then showed him the duplicates I now pro duce, and asked him how Viscount Templetoun became possessed of them, The prisoner said "I gave them to one of the servants to give to his lordship." Prisoner—l have no questions to ask. The depositions having been read over by Mr. Noakes, , the chief clerk, The prisoner said—l have nothing to say to the charge. He was then committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS NUMEROUS ROBBERIES AT TAVERNS.—John Price, a tall, shabby looking man, who had under his arm a large cloak, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a clock, of the value of £2los, from the parlour of the Marlborough Head Tavern, North Audley-street, Thomas John Richards, a lad in the employ of Mr. John Dawson, the landlord of the Marlborough Head, North Audley-street, said that on the previous afternoon, while cleaning the outside lamps, he saw the prisoner enter the house and walked into the parlour. As the prisoner was wearing a large cloak, and had been to the house once or twice before that week and acted in rather a suspicious manner, he was induced to watch him. Shortly after, the prisoner came out of the house and was walking away, when, thinking he would sea whether all was right in the parlour, he stepped in, and at once missed the clock. He then went in pursuit of the prisoner and caught him at the corner of Princes-street and Oxford-street, when he noticed he had something bulky under his cloak, so he stepped him and gave him into custody, and the clock was found under his arm. Police-constable 121 D proved taking the prisoner into custody, and stated that he refused his address. Several clocks had been stolen lately from the parlours of taverns. Mr Knox remanded the prisoner, to give the police an opportunity of making inquiries. ANNOYING A LICENSED VIOTLIALLER.—Thos. M'Nally, described as a surveyor, of Water-street, Whitefriars, was charged before Mr Knox wi , h assaulting and annoying Mr Marshall, of the Romney Arms, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy square. Mr Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the complainant, and, in opening the case, said the de fendant was charged with assaulting and annoying Mr Marshall. From the evidence of Mr Marshall, it appeared that the defendant went to his house the previous night, and made use of very coarse language, and annoyed his customers. Mr. Marshall, with the assistance of his barman and a constable, 42 E, ejected him; in the struggle, the defen dant catching held of Mr Marshall by the arm and the groin, the former was badly bruised. The defendant was then taken to the station, and charged, and bailed out, but shortly after he returned to the house and threatened Mr Marshall. It further appeared that the defendant made five or six attempts to strike Mr Marshall. A person lamed Catchpole corroborated Mr Marshall in many respects. After hearing the defendant and a witness in his behalf, Mr Knox ordered the defendant to enter into his recogni sance in the sum of X5O to keep the peace for six months. THAMES. STEALING RAISINS.—John and Mary Daniels, man and wife, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with stealing 3lbs of raisins. William Wells, a constable, in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, stated on Saturday evening last, a few minutes before seven o'clock, the prisoners came to the gate from the dock and presented a pass for a bundle of dirty clothes and a broom from the ship Glen Devon. He looked at the bundle and saw it contained clothes and a broom. He then asked her what was in the basket she carried, to which she replied, my handkerchief. He said there :was something more than a handkerchief, and she said yes, I have some raisins. He asked her where she obtained them, and she first said that she brought them into the dock with her, and brought them in Rother hithe. He asked her the quantity, the name of the shop where she bought them, and other particulars. She said there were three or founds of raisins, and that she did not know the name of the street or the shop. He afterwards, in the presence of the chief constable, said he would take a little trouble, and if either of the prisoners would point out where she bought them, he would make inquiries. She then said she had not bought them at all, and that they were given to her by the captain of the Pride of the West, in Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe. Mr Partridge—l strongly object to the system of police dicers and constables interrogating prisoners. It is a French system, not an English system, and I hope it will never be introduced into this country. Judges and magis trates are not allowed to question prisoners in this country. It is the duty of police officers to hear all that prisoners have to say and repeat it in evidence. Captain Henry Amos Brown, the master of the ship Glen Devon, said the male prisoner bad been in his service as shipkocper for two months. Ho had a large quantity of raisins on board. He had not missed any. Mr. Sheppard, chief constable of the East and 'West India Dock, said he allowed the prisoners to go at large on Saturday for inquiries to be made, and arrested them again yesterday. Mr. Partridge discharged the woman, on the ground that she acted under the coercion of her husband, and fined the male prisoner 20s. for unlawful possession of the raisins.

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR. The LORD CHANCELLOR called attention to the state of the law of debtor and creditor as affecting the poorer classes ; and presented a bill for the limitation of actions and process for small debts, and to amend the acts relating to the county courts, and to confer on such courts a limited jurisdiction in equity. The noble and learned lord said the subject was one of the greatest importance, because as many as 17,979 persons had been committed to prison by the act giving the power of imprisonment to county court judges. Some of those persons so sent to prison had been deprived of personal liberty for the most insignificant, crimes, as there were cases in which persons had been imprisoned for the non-payment of such sums as Is. ld., 3s. 10d., is. 6d , 2s. 9d., and in one case a man had been imprisoned several days' imprisonment for default :of payment of ninepence. The sum total of the amounts for these committals did not amount to more than £62,438, and no doubt could be entertained on the circumstance, because the calculations had been made upon returns made to Parliament. His lordship was opinion that a creditor was justified in imprisoning a debtor to the injury of society. To come to a right decision on the case it was necessary to inquire whether the creditor gave credit under circum stances which justified and required him' to imprison his debtor ; to inquire whether the creditor could say, " I hove a right to this remedy on behalf of society, in order that I tnay be enabled to recover my debt." The present law was especially hard upon the labourer, because it in effect mort gaged the entire earnings of the debtor to the merciless creditor for an indefinite time, without the possibility of hope of redemption. He begged their lordships, but for one instant, to draw a comparison between the law as respected bankruptcy and that dispensed in county courts. In the one, on the surrender of his goods, a bankrupt gets a discharge from all his liabilities, whilst in the county court the poor creditor gets an order which hangs about his neck for years, and, in fact, from which he ever, or seldom, liberates himself. The consequences of the county court system had become the very parent of the evil they were called upon to check. Small shop-keepers and pedlars tempted the improvident, and, he must add, dissipated ,poor. Credit being easily obtained, debts for things not actually necessaries is soon contracted, and on the first failure of payment resource is had to the county courts. In many cases goods are supplied by persons without the knowledge of the husband, as the pedlar generally calls when the husband is at work. As long as he keeps so she make her payments to the pedlar, but immediately work fails he still perseveres for his money; the wife is unable to pay, and summonses by the hundreds are taken out by these sort of people, and thus a great deal of misery is oc casioned, in addition to which, in many cases, more than three times the value of the article was charged. although the husband had no knowledge of the debt, he is cited to the County Court, and there he is ordered to pay the amount for which he never rendered himself liable. It had been said that this system of credit was necessary, and advantageous to the provident poor, but he denied that such was the case. On the contrarr, he thought that if it was altogether put an end to, it would lead to a more pru dent, careful, and provident state of things. (Hear, hear.) The bill he held in his hand, in the first place, would give power to the judge to take into cons4leration the whole of the circumftances of the debt. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OP COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Kilkenny Cathedral, Economy Fand Bill, and the Scottish Central Railway (Stations, drc.) Bill were read a third time and passed. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. Mr. MARSH, in the absence of Mr. Lindsay, gave no- tice that he would move a resolution to the effect that it was the duty of this house to consider what would be the effect of the conLinuance of the civil war in America on this country. EMIGRATION FR OM IRELAND TO AMERICA. Mr. SCULLY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been directed to the proposed Act of American Coagress providing for the reduction of tonnage dues on immigrant vessels, and for the appointment of a Government Commissioner of Immigra- tion, who shall be empowered to contract for the importa tion of immigrants, and for their transmission into the inland districts of the United States : and, whether it was the in tention of the present Government to adopt any measures either towards diverting into some of her Majesty's colonies an increased and increasing emigration from Ire land, or towards arresting that emigration, by providing industrial employment at home, or by reducing exorbitant taxation, or by improving the land laws, or by abolishing religious distinctions, or by conceding to Irishmen some participation in the government of their own country, or otherwise ? Sir G. GREY said that his attention had been called to the subject which formed the first portion of the hon. mem ber's question, and there could be no doubt that emigration from Ireland to America was going on very extensively, but it was the result of superior wages offered in that country than were received at home, in the same way that Irishman were induced to come to England, because they received better remuneration for their la bour than they did from Irish employers. With regard to the other prat of the question, it was obvious that Govern ment could not take any active measure in providing in dustrial occupation for the agricultural portion of the Irish population at home; and, in reference to religion, Irishmen enjoyed as much liberty as any other portion of the United Kingdom. THE RAILWAY FROM HALIFAX TO QUEBEC. Mr. AYR TON asked the Secretary for the Colonies whether it was the intention of the Government to ask the sanction of Parliament, during the present session, for a guarantee of interest on a sum of money required to complete the railway from Halifax to Quebec; ane, if not, whether the intention of doing so was finally abandoned, and whether any correspondence had taken place between the colonial offices and the authorities in Canada and British Columbia on the subject of the proposed telegraphic communication between Canada and the Pacific, subsequently to that which was produced last year; and, if so, whether he had any ob jection to lay copies of such correspondence upon the table? Mr. CARDWELL said it was not the intention of Go vernment to ask for any grant this session for the under-' taking in question, but the matter was under cons ideration. With regard to the second question there had been s_et;°, correspondence, which would be laid on the table in a short time. DENMARK. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked whether her Meiest Y be more vernment intended to adopt any measures 's Go• to likely effectuil than those which have hitherto been attempted, and King of Den for the purpose of relieving the people 5 ;l e i c a t r e k d from T t h h e e h o n. m oppression era b e t r o house, and to enter into the general matters connected with ewnhdiecahvotilltreeyd 7 t e o r e d a il yaddress e sub jected the question, but was called to order by the Speaker, Sir G. GREY said that the C o nference W3B sitting, and he believed the first result would be an armistice. On the part of her Majesty's Government he could only say that their desire was to effect an amicable arrangement between the German Powers and Denmark, and to restore peace. (Hear, hoar.) NAVY ESTIMATES, Lord : N :tood to say th a t h e wou ld p o A Si G r E T T . P w Ati as uc u u n T d understood the supplemen tar y estimate for the incre a s e d p a y o f ordC. t reply officers of the Royal Navy on the table before Whitsuntide, and that he proposed the discussion should come on shortly after the holidays. THE AURORA. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked whether the Aurora frigate, under the command of Sir Leopold M'Clintock, had been sent to the North Sea in the direction of the Austrian squadron; and if so, why a force more adequate to cop with any possible contingency that might arise had not been despatched at the same time? Lori C. PAGET said that the Aurora had been sent to the North Sea according to a practice that had pre vailed' in this country for some time, namely, that a British• man-of-war should be placed in seas where the British nation had an interest, and where a foreign squad ron might be expected to visit. THE AUSTRIAN SQUADRON. In reply to Sir J. PAkINGToN, Lord C. PAGET said that the Austrian squadron bad left the Downs, but he did not know what was its desti nation. Sir G. GREY said that he could only repeat the answer he bad given on a previous occasion to the affect that ho had new assurances from the Austrian Government that the fleet Was going into the North Sea merely to prevent a blockade of the Elbe and the Weiper.

The official correspondence relating to the dis missal of Mr. J. R. Morell from the office of her Majesty's Roman Catholic Inspector of Schools has just been published. It appeared that a memorial was forwarded early in November last to the Com mittee of Council on Education, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Morel! in the discharge of his offi cial duties, and alleging that in September, 1861, when Mr. Morell visited St. David's School, Cardi ganshire, two pupils, who were candidates for the pupil teachership, were not examined in his pre sence as they ought to have been, but that printed examination papers, with the questions marked, were left by him, with directions that the answers should be given to the Rev. S. Bruno. Other grounds of complaint, relative to the mode of examination Gdopted by Mr. Morell, were stated by the memo rialist, Mr. James Kelly, teacher of the said school, who strongly impeached the impartiality of Mr. Morell, both in the conduct of the examine, tions, and in his official reports, and offered to esta blish the charges by evidence before the committee. The memorial referred to led to a very lengthened correspondence with the Committee of Council, and in a letter, dated Nov. 26, Mr. Morrell denied the allegations made by Mr. Kelly, stating that the lat ter had been suspended for misconduct by Mr. Stokes, as "a mischievous person who, with the support of a powerful Irish party, made himself very offensive at Cardiff." The Rev. Stephen Bruno, in a letter to the Committee of Council on Educa tion, whose conduct had been complained of, also described the charges made by Mr. Kelly as a " tissue of lies." The charges then underwent in• vestigation by the Committee of Council ; and the secretary of the committee, writing by their order, complains strongly of the " great irregularity" disclosed in the diaries of Mr. Morell, showing that out of 153 engagements in 1862 to visit elementary schools and to hold collective examina tions of pupil teacher, he had kept 64 and failed to keep 89. Much of the correspondence just pub lished consists of letters and documentary evi dence given in support of the charges of Mr, Kelly, and the complaints of the Committee of Coun cil. In one case, Mr. Waterworth, Catholic Chapel-house, Worcester, tells Mr. Morell that there is one lengthened murmur against the uncertainty of his visits, and in other places complaint is made of the inconvenience caused by his arrangements. Another portion of that correspondence refers to the entry in his diary relative to th e j ourne y from Cardiff to Plymouth on the 18th o f S e pt em ber, 18 6 3, although it appeared th a t h e crosse d the Bristol Channel on the night of th e 17 t h. After a careful consideration of the correspondence, q uite ap ar t from the testimony of Mr. K e lley, Mr. Lingen, on behalf of the Council of Education, writes that " my lords of the committee feel themselves placed un d er the necessity of calling upon yoU to resign y our office." In reply Mr. Morell begged most respect fully to decline the resigna tion. In accordanc e , however, with the decision of t he committee, Mr. that Lin g hisen , appointment 0 i s n e t e m r eetnary, March, 1864 . In the last , announced to Mr. Morell Morel to M r.
